Good Afternoon,

I'm a quadriplegic who was referred to your software by someone at Ham Radio Deluxe, because your software can change tones for T-SQL, and HRD cannot. BKT allows more control via computer (CAT control).

For some reason, when I loaded it, I cannot connect and I'm forced to Offline Mode and therefore cannot change ports to try; but HRD works fine on Com 5, the com port I'm using. HRD is not open though.

Also, the little box that comes up when I first installed BKT7000 where I set the ports/speed no longer comes up. It just says Com5 isn't working, exit or work offline. How can I change them now?

My system is a Dell Laptop, with a CI-V cable that has both ACC plug and 1/8" plug for the radio (I have to unplug the ACC and only use the 1/8" for HRD).

CATBKT installed, but the settings do not match to my FT-897D ... When setting up and open the program, the radio is in direct transmission.
No more setting that I have not tried ...

Any tips please??

Thanks.

Ciao Mauro,
grazie, innanzitutto, per la tua interessante interfaccia.
L'ho collegata con il mio, oramai, vecchio 756 pro e sto testando la nuova versione beta.
Ho riscontrato un problema riguardo all'S-meter, che anche quando stacco l'antenna al mio rtx, segnala S6.

A presto Antonello

I would like the facility to resize the main control panel so that it covers the whole of a 1024 x 768 screen format with the Quickset, Audio Recorder and PTT docked to it.

One thing I do find irritating is when I open the program up, the Quickset panel, Audio Recorder and the PTT panels are never where I left them and I have spend time putting them back at the side of the main control screen. It would be good if these postitions could be 'remembered' when the program is closed down at the end of a session.

Othewise, the program is excellent and does the job very well.

The communication protocol (CI-V) of transceivers ICOM IC-706 has some limitations hardware:

For all models (IC706 - IC706MKII - IC706MKII/G) :
It is not possible read or write memory names.
It is not possible read or write the subtone value.
It is not possible read the setting of the DUP

For IC706 and IC706MKII :
It is not possible read or write memory names.
It is not possible read or write the subtone value.
It is not possible read the setting of the DUP
It is not possible read the S-Meter
It is not possible read the SQL
It is not possible read or write the Attenuator
It is not possible read or write the Preamplificator
It is not possible read or write the AGC
It is not possible read or write the NB
It is not possible read or write the Tone
It is not possible read or write the TSQL
It is not possible read or write the Vox
It is not possible read or write the BKin
It is not possible read or write the Compressor
It is not possible read or write the DUP
It is not possible read or write the Reverse

I'm connected to my IC7000 from my PC using the USB RIGTalk from Wester Radio
When I first bring up IC7000, the "Speed Communication Test in Progress" results in a good sync between the SW and the RTX
Any time I hit Synchronize after that, I get an error saying, "Serial port COM26 not working or communication error"
I have to go OFF LINE and then hit the Synchronize in order to have the SW and RTX synchronize
The BIG problem, is that I can't get the memory to synchronize. I load Bank A with what I want to download to my RTX. I hit synchronize pon the memory screen to load the new memory information to the RTX. I choose "Overwrite RTX" option. I click on "Start." At that point nothing happens. I have left it alone for a long time, but still nothing happens
It appears that once I'm synchronized, the connection is lost and I can never synchronize again without going off-line. In any event, I can never update the data bank on the IC7000
The reason I payed for your software and bought the RIGTalk was to be able to download what I want to the memory banks of the IC7000. I'm considering returning the RIGTalk and asking for a refund on the IC7000BKT donation I made. Right now, I'm very disappointed because I can't do the 1 thing that I want to be able to do.
Please advise.

IC7000BKT Version 1.12.0 :

- Added control on writing rights of the configuration file.
- Compiled for compatibility with Windows 2000.

I have un-installed previous versions of the IC-7000 software. I just installed latest version (ic7000bkt_Setup.exe). I try to load my registration file. The program CRASHES.

I have done this over and over, disabling virus protection, etc.

I am on Windows XP.

I really need this to work. Perhaps the key file is corrupt? Or something else?

Please help me. Thank you

Hi Mauro,
Since I upgraded the software to the latest version, I now transmit only in AM even in repeater mode. I have tried reloading the program etc. The radio by itself functions ok but if I try to transmit with the program the tx reverts to AM, no matter what mode I am receiving FM, LSB, USB, CW it transmits in AM only.
Can you help?
Regards,
Nick VK6YNE
